Hey...I just learned that a skosh equals .9696 inches.....

I think your skosh is way too long. The distance is short of 99' by a mere 1/16 of an inch.

Actually, SQRT(70^2 + 70^2) = 98.99494937 ft, and 98ft 11 15/16 in = 98.99479167 ft, for a difference of 0.000157699 ft, or 0.001892393 in.

THAT'S a skosh.
